Best known for sponsoring the Chief Menominee statue and for writing two early histories of Marshall County, Daniel McDonald was a child pioneer, newspaper editor and politician. It is said that he had his finger in every pie: including a hunting and fishing club and lodge placed strategically on the north bluff of Lake Maxinkuckee. Albert Toner owned a bank, hotel, opera house, livery stable and mill in Kewanna, as well as three blocks of its downtown. Like McDonald, he served in the state legislature. Lucerne, in Cass County, was briefly named Altoner, in honor of Toner’s work to route the Terre Haute and Logansport Railway through the village. In 1882 and 1883, these two local “Big Shots” worked together to bring the Terre Haute and Logansport (later the Vandalia) Railroad through Marmont, now Culver, and on through Plymouth to South Bend. Join us as Houghton tells the real story behind the collaboration that changed both Culver and Plymouth forever. Pack a lunch and join us!

The most enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.” Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the "miracle" of her web in which she writes, "some pig." It's the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. Produced by the Riley High School Drama Club, "Charlotte's Web" will be performed on Friday, May 10th (7 PM) and Saturday, May 11th (2 PM). Tickets: $5 (online) and $7 (at the door).
